Our Service
From $59 per week
Our weekly subscription is our most popular option for 3 reasons.
1 - It's our most cost-effective option saving you up to $26 per visit.
2 - Our weekly visits keep your yard looking great more often. One dog will poo around 14 times per week! Picking up one is bad enough!
3 - It keeps your yard not only free of poo and the smell that comes with it, but also the reassurance of a safe back yard.
From $82 per fortnight
You may not need us every week, so fortnightly visits would be the next best thing!
Remember, 1 dog will give you roughly 28 to 42 piles of poo in just two weeks! That's 30 to 45 minutes of your time each week you could be spending on anything else!
From $85 for one off visits
One off visits will be considered more than two weeks apart. Here is where there is usually quite a buildup so time will depend on how much mess there is to clean.
Please note - payments will be via eftpos or cash on the day. Other options available for subscription.
Please note - both weekly and fortnightly options are subject to a one time fee of $85 for the first service.
Please note - both weekly and fortnightly options are for up to two dogs. 3 or more dogs will be $15 extra.
Please note - your lawns will need to be short enough to access the dog poo to do a thorough job.
What you're protecting your dog's from
It's not common knowledge that people know how hazardous dog poo can be and what infections and diseases can come from dog waste.
Even if your dog doesn't show any symptoms of illness, their waste could still carry bacteria and parasites that are harmful to other pets and humans. And you don't need to come into direct contact with dog poop in order to contract an illness from it - diseases in poop can be transmitted by flies or other pets that come into contact with it. Here are some of the illnesses and infectious organisms carried in dog poo.
Salmonella
Roundworm
E. coli
Giardia
Leptospira
Parvovirus
Coliform bacteria
As we know vaccinations can't be 100% guaranteed to prevent disease, so taking extra precaution to make sure our pets stay healthy is extremely important. Below is a more indepth look into what you can expect from the deseases and infections carried in dog poo.
Salmonella -
Acute gastroenteritis is the most common symptom in clinical salmonella infection in dogs. Fever, nausea, anorexia followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea can be seen. Diarrhea may vary in degree and consistency, sometimes it can also contain blood. Weight loss is most likely a result of fluid loss.
How serious is Salmonella in dogs?
Left untreated salmonellosis can kill a dog with a compromised immune system, extremely poor gut health or a senior dog. While your dog is sick, it's important to monitor them, ensure they stay hydrated and also speak to your vet.
Roundworm -
What are roundworms?
Roundworms are intestinal parasites. The adult worms live in the small intestine and are white and spaghetti-like in appearance, ranging from 5 to 15 cm in length.
Dogs can become infested with roundworm through ingestion of infective eggs from a contaminated environment (e.g. a dog park) or through eating an infested host animal such as a rodent.
Puppies can get roundworms from their mother prior to birth in the womb (the worm larvae can cross the placenta) or soon after birth via the milk. They can also be infested by ingesting eggs from the environment or by consuming rodents or birds.
Signs of roundworms in dogs may include:
-
Diarrhea and/or vomiting
-
Failure to gain weight
-
Poor coat condition
-
Pot-bellied appearance
E. Coli -
E. coli infection can lead to blood poisoning, or septicemia, and has been found to compound with parvovirus in dogs and puppies, leading to an increased risk of death by parvovirus. The bacterium Escherichia coli, more commonly referred to as E. coli, resides in the lower intestines of dogs and is typically
benign.
Dogs can be infected with E. coli in a similar way that people can get infected: by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. There have been many recalls of commercial dog food diets and treats involving contamination with E. coli.
What are the first signs of E. coli in dogs?
Symptoms and Types
-
Lack of appetite.
-
Depression
-
Dehydration
-
Vomiting.
-
Rapid heart rate.
-
Weakness.
-
Lethargy.
-
Watery diarrhea.
Giardia -
How do dogs get giardiasis?
A dog becomes infected with Giardia when it swallows the cyst stage of the parasite. In susceptible dogs, once the cyst passes into the dog's intestines, it transforms into the trophozoite and attaches to the intestinal wall to feed. If sufficient numbers are present, clinical signs of damage to the intestinal wall will develop.
Trophozoites reproduce by dividing, and some transform into the cystic form. Eventually, the dog passes infectious cysts in its stool. The time it takes from ingestion of cysts to passage in feces is 5 to 12 days in dogs and 5 to 16 days in cats.
Giardiasis can be transmitted by eating or sniffing the cysts from contaminated ground, or by drinking contaminated water.
Leptospira -
Can Leptospirosis spread to people and other pets?
The Leptospira spirochete bacteria is zoonotic, meaning that it can be transmitted to humans and other animals from an infected animal.
Children are most at risk of acquiring the bacteria from an infected pet.
These are the symptoms you might see in dogs infected with leptospirosis:
-
Sudden fever and illness
-
Sore muscles; reluctance to move
-
Stiffness in muscles and legs; stiff gait
-
Shivering
-
Weakness
-
Depression
-
Lack of appetite
-
Increased thirst and urination -may be indicative of chronic renal (kidney) failure, progressing to an inability to urinate
-
Rapid dehydration
-
Vomiting, possibly with blood
-
Diarrhea, with or without blood
-
Bloody vaginal discharge
-
Dark red-speckled gums (petechiae)
-
Yellow skin and/or whites of eyes (anemic symptoms)
-
Spontaneous cough
-
Difficulty breathing, fast breathing, irregular pulse
-
Runny nose
-
Swelling of the mucous membrane
-
Mild swelling of the lymph nodes
Parvovirus -
What Is Parvovirus?
Parvovirus in dogs, also known as parvo or canine parvovirus, is a highly contagious virus that affects unvaccinated and partially vaccinated dogs.
Puppies are often most at risk. The most obvious signs of parvovirus are gastrointestinal - affected dogs are lethargic with vomiting, diarrhea and appetite loss.
How do dogs get parvo?
Parvovirus is highly contagious and can survive for long periods in the environment. The virus can withstand routine cleaning and weather changes, which means the spread of the virus is hard to control. It can be easily transferred from the paws of dogs and from people's shoes or other items contaminated with the virus, like bedding or leashes.
Parvovirus is shed in the faces of infected animals, and dogs easily come into contact with these when sniffing the ground when on walks or at the dog park. It is important to understand that you don't need direct dog-to-dog contact for a dog to become infected with parvovirus.
What are the Parvovirus symptoms If you suspect your dog may have parvovirus, there are a few symptoms to be on the lookout for:
-
Loss of appetite
-
Abdominal bloating and pain
-
Lethargy
-
Diarrhea (which may contain blood)
-
Changing body temperature (fever or a lower
temperature) -
Vomiting
How to prevent parvovirus in dogs?
Vaccinating your pet against parvovirus is the only way to protect them from the disease.
Vaccinations work to trains their immune systems to recognise the viral markers for parvovirus. The vaccination is highly effective and very safe.
Coliform bacteria -
Colibacillosis often leads to a condition called septicemia, or blood poisoning, meaning there is an dangerously high presence of bacteria in the blood. Though primarily a disease of young dogs, it can also affect older dogs. E. coli infection, when combined with other infectious agents, also increases the severity of parvovirus infection in dogs.
Colibacillosis is suaden (acute) in nature ana may cause the following symptoms in an affected puppy:
-
Depression
-
Dehydration
-
Lack of appetite
-
Vomiting
-
Rapid heart rate
-
Weakness
-
Lethargy
-
Watery diarrhea
-
Cold skin (due to low body temperature)
-
Bluish colored mucous membranes (i.e., gums, nostrils, lips, ears, anus) due to inadequate oxygen in red blood cells
